Boehner & House Repukes - OFFICIALLY AWOL!

Boehner and House Republicans are still on Christmas vacation — what are they supposed to do… come back to DC? Work?

Steve Benen on John Boehner’s ridiculous “pass” to the Senate:

Left with no “Plan C,” it’s come to this: hope the Senate can figure something out.

After a high-level telephone conference call, House Republican leaders called on the Senate to act but opened the door to bringing to the House floor any last-minute legislation the Senate could produce.

“The House will take this action on whatever the Senate can pass, but the Senate first must act,” said the statement issued on behalf of Speaker John A. Boehner and his three top lieutenants.

If you’re thinking, “Wait, this doesn’t make any sense,” you’re not alone. For one thing, the Senate already acted, passing a bill to freeze lower rates on income up to $250,000, and the House GOP leadership is choosing not to take up the Senate version. For another, there’s a Democratic majority in the Senate — are Harry Reid and his caucus expected to just guess what kind of plan can generate some modicum of Republican support?

3. well no, Reid

needs to craft a bill that gets 25 repub votes and after jan 3, Reid's bill need only get 17. But I suck at math so my numbers might be wrong but the point is still the same. Reid does not need all the repub votes we only need around 25. They should pick the ones they think they can get and get this bill to make them happy and screw the rest of the dysfunctional repub party they are as dead as dinosaurs now a days anyway.

7. Republican chickenhawks are famous for going AWOL

8. called my repug rep office .......... no one there

called his district office ........... closed until after the first of the year
Are we paying these people for not working??
If the House can close does that mean that we should be able to close the country down until the House comes back??

It is time to cut House pay and let then work for minimum pay and no vacations nor benefits
